Re: LCBO 2016 Christmas Gift Packs

so it's out for sale? Is it even on the lcbo site yet? The Gouden Carolus set is a great edition, particularly if it does indeed come with the glassware. Glassware is in it! Same thing happened last year and/or the year before. Lots of Christmas stuff was in the store and nothing online and then su...

Maybe. Some BA reviews show bottling dates of Feb 2016 March 2016, BB of Feb 2017 March 2017.

Newer batch for us maybe bottled July or August, BB July or August 2017?

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

For some reason the Delicious IPA is on the LCBO website but is nowhere to be found on drinkvine (whether you search for the name or the product number). Also, Goose Island Rambler IPA is now showing stock in some Beer Stores. Picked some up in Hamilton today, per your alert, having one now as the ...
